MILAN — The U.S. women’s hockey team is going home with gold, and one lucky fan is going home with a unique souvenir.
On Thursday, Team USA prevailed 2-1 over Canada in overtime to win their third gold medal in Olympic history.
Attending the game was Joseph “Trip” Cillo, a sophomore at North Hills High School, the North Hills School District says.
Halfway through the second period, the puck was sent flying over the glass, and a quick-thinking Cillo caught it.
The district celebrated Cillo’s accomplishment on social media.
“What an INCREDIBLE memory from an historic Olympic game! Way to go, Trip!” the district said.
